Most all items in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 are URL addressable.  If you run a report, copy the URL, and then send the URL to someone when they click it the report will open on the Report Filter page and they will still have to click Run Report to see the report.

To have the report automatically run when the URL is clicked change the query string parameter action from filter to run.

For example, instead of:

https://crm.ryandev.com/crmreports/viewer/viewer.aspx?id={DD6204B8-1514-DD31-9ED5-050C25C4FE07}&helpID=Top%20Knowledge%20Base%20Articles.rdl&action=filter

do:

https://crm.ryandev.com/crmreports/viewer/viewer.aspx?id={DD6204B8-1514-DD31-9ED5-050C25C4FE07}&helpID=Top%20Knowledge%20Base%20Articles.rdl&action=run
